Love Betty White! EON with the Scotts and all was among my faves. Also, I haven't seen much of Home & Away mentioned on this site, but I LOVE this show, esp the classic, early episodes. Made my morn seeing Tom and (original)Pippa. Great show, arguably one of the best soaps ever (also love other Aussie soaps Neighbors, Sons & Daughters, Prisoner). Just great seeing H&A here!

To clarify, I loved EON during the period with April/Draper and Miles/Nicole. I esp liked the character of April, too bad she was written out in the early 1980s. Henry Slesar was let go to bring in a writer from Charlie's Angel (yikes!), which resulted in Nicole being killed off and several lackluster SLs (with the Van Dine's being pretty much the only bright spot). Still love and miss EON!

Be still my Liason-loving heart! The clip captures what I liked best about Liason, the couple often focused on Liz's POV at a time when GH rarely focused on the POV of the female characters.

Elizabeth & Jason was the very last couple on soaps I really dug. I hated that their love story was so brief and that Jake was killed off by sadistic writers. A Webber/Quartermaine child represented the future of the show and the product of a great soap couple.
